Evan Longoria (foot, ankle) is expected to return to the Giants' Cactus League lineup on Wednesday night against the Mariners.

Longoria has been sidelined for close to a week with soreness along his left heel and ankle, but he took infield practice at third base Tuesday without issue and also participated in live BP. The veteran third baseman should be fine for the start of the 2018 regular season.

Smith is now 11 months removed from his Tommy John surgery. There's still a long way to go and he's not sure if he'll be ready for Opening Day, but he has a good chance to contribute early on in the first half.
